Way Back Home is a 1931 American Pre-Code drama film directed by William A. Seiter. The screenplay by Jane Murfin is based on characters created for the NBC Radio show Seth Parker by Phillips Lord.

Synopsis

A decade earlier, Jonesport, Maine preacher Seth Parker and his wife offered shelter to runaway Robbie Turner, who as an infant was abandoned by his sadistic, alcoholic father Rufe. Mary Lucy Duffy, who has been banished from her home by her father for fraternizing with farm hand David Clark, is living with the Parkers as well, and her romance with David attracts the attention of the local gossips. Years earlier, David's mother Rose had run off with a stranger, and when she and her illegitimate infant son returned to Jonesport, they were shunned by the townspeople.
